igan, liaveinvented certain, new and-use Improvements in -Hydrocarbon-'Motors,l of which the following, is a specification.l

l This invention relates to' hydrocarbon ino-l ,tors and more particularly to the mounting ofthe auxiliary shafts in the crank case. (ne ofthe. objects`"-o f the invention is tothe crank case and A further' object viste provide-novel means for 'collecting oil from one *of vthe. auxiliary.

The motor ispr'ovided 10 having cylinders 11 mounted 'On the front of-one of the cylinders isla fan 12 driven by means of a belt from a pulley 13 'mounted on an auxiliary shaft 14. crankshaft 15 is mounted in the crank oase and is provided with al inion meshing with gears 16 on the cam sha s 17. The motoris provided with afstarting crank 18 which is adaptedv to engage the crank shaft 15 by means ofthe clutch 19. One of the cani thereof; Fig.;6 is a verthe auxiliary shaft-pulfordraining the .oil

The gears for driving the' cam shafts and from the crank shaft,v are 33, which is bolted -to the crank case along its marginal portion by means of bolts 4. The pulleyl is pro. vided at'flie inner ent` of the huh -with an annular flange 3 5 for throwing oil from the -shaft 14.

' A ring 36, having a cupped portion surrounding the flange and having'a flange portion Secured to the casing by screws 37 or other suitable means, is provided for thel purpose o f catching the oil thrown by the flange 35.-v it .\v il l` be seen that this ring, with the adJoining poitionof` the casing,
